until i was able to accept who i wasand what i had become, my lifewas stuck in neutral.

i had to balance the elements of will.we are all born with free will;develop a degree of self-will, andhave various perceptions of whatgod's will is.

the only conclusion i had about god'swill was that it was NOT for me toslowly destroy the good health ihad been blessed with.

i have never believed in a punishinghigher power, nor have i ever prayedfor any "thing", in particular.

letting go of trying to control everyoneand every thing helped keep prideand ego in check.

i still don't agree that most of usare insane upon entering recovery.we are merely following that primitivepart of our brain that craves intoxication.it has no conscience, or fear of consequences.that is not insanity, but an uncontrollableurge to alter our consciousness;the way humans have been doing forthousands of years.
